Winery / Producer: Bodegas Jorge Ordóñez (Prestigious label founded in 2004, globally renowned for rescuing and elevating the centuries-old tradition of minimal-intervention Málaga wines).

Specific Origin: La Axarquía region, D.O. Sierras de Málaga, Andalusia, Spain (Mountain vineyards with heroic viticulture).

Varietal Composition: 100% Moscatel de Alejandría, harvested from old vines ranging from 50 to 80 years of age.

Terroir and Identity: Steep, desert-like decomposed slate soils. The plots are situated at high altitudes, exposed to a radiant Mediterranean sun tempered by fresh currents from the Atlantic and Mediterranean, ensuring healthy over-ripening and vibrant acidity in the soils.

Production Process: Late, heroic manual harvest in small crates, transported by mules due to the steepness. Very soft pneumatic pressing and natural fermentation in stainless steel tanks. When the wine spontaneously reaches the perfect balance between alcohol and organic residual sugar, fermentation is halted by lowering the temperature, with no added wine alcohol.

Style: High-end natural sweet white; aromatic, dense yet agile, citrusy and mineral.

Alcohol Content: Low and balanced, usually ranging between 10% and 13% Vol. (Allowing the crystalline fruitiness of the grape to shine).

Capacity: Elegant 750 ml bottle.

SKU: ESP-ORDONEZ-VICTORIA-1-750

Visual Phase

Displays a beautiful, brilliant pale golden yellow color with lovely greenish flashes and crystalline reflections of great luminosity. Shows sumptuous and elegant legs when swirling in the glass.

Olfactory Phase

Dazzling, seductive, and extremely pure aromatic impact. Opens with intense and clear notes of candied orange peel, orange blossom honey, fresh figs, and baked apple. A second layer reveals perfumed floral nuances of jasmine, alpine white flowers, and a subtle mineral and herbaceous background that evokes slate under the sun.

Gustatory Phase

Its entry is ample, opulent, and glyceric, caressing the palate with a delicious syrupy texture. However, any hint of heaviness is immediately dissolved by a bright, refreshing citrus acidity that gives the sip verticality. The finish is balanced, long, and persistent, leaving a clean aftertaste imbued with fresh tropical fruits and flowers.

Precision Gastronomic Pairing: Victoria Nº 1 is a titan at the table thanks to its perfect symbiosis of sugar and acidity. It pairs in a legendary and historic way with Foie Gras (mi-cuit or pan-seared) and fine pâtés, cutting through the fat with elegance. It is the ideal partner for intense, aged cheeses: powerful blue cheeses (Cabrales, Roquefort, Gorgonzola) or aged sheep's milk cheeses. In the world of sweets, it majestically escorts desserts with tart fruits (apple tarts, lemon tart, tropical fruit mille-feuille), premium vanilla ice cream, or traditional pastries with almonds and pine nuts. In Mexican haute cuisine, it creates sublime harmonies with chiles en nogada, complex mole poblanos, and even buñuelos with piloncillo syrup.

What is the recommended serving temperature for Victoria Nº 1 White Wine?

To appreciate its fascinating range of floral and fruity aromas with absolute clarity without the sweetness masking the palate, it is recommended to serve it well chilled, in an ideal range between 6°C and 8°C. It is suggested to keep the bottle in an ice bucket throughout the after-dinner period.

Does this sweet white wine contain industrially added alcohol or sugars?

No, absolutely not. Victoria Nº 1 is classified as a 'natural sweet' wine. This means that both the final alcohol content and the exquisite residual sweetness come 100% from the fermentation of pure juice from Moscatel grapes over-ripened on the vine, without resorting to the addition of wine alcohol or external syrups.

What is the bottle aging potential of this wine by Jorge Ordóñez?

Thanks to its magnificent concentration of natural sugars and its vibrant structural acidity, Victoria Nº 1 has extraordinary bottle aging potential. Stored in optimal conditions, it will evolve with total grace over the next 5 to 8 years, gaining aromatic complexity with notes of dried fruits, dried apricots, subtle hydrocarbons, and dark honeys.

How should the bottle be stored once opened at home?

Due to its stable sweet nature, the bottle keeps impeccably once opened for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. It only requires the stopper to be placed firmly and the bottle kept upright inside the refrigerator to slow down any oxidation process of its volatile aromas.
